Xilinx Virtex 6 OpenVPX 6U FPGA Processing Board

These FPGA boards include 3 Xilinx Virtex 6 FPGAs with up to 36 High Speed Serial connections performing up to 6.5 Gbps. The Compute Processing Element (CPE) FPGA has a choice of QDRII SRAM, DDRII+ SRAM or DDR2 DRAM. The CPE DRAM option has up to six 32-bit DRAM ports clocked at up to 400 MHz while the SRAM option has up to six 36-bit SRAM interfaces clocked up to 200 MHz. The IO Processing Element (IOPE) FPGA also has a choice of QDRII SRAM, DDRII+ SRAM or DDR2 DRAM. The IOPE DRAM option has four 32-bit DRAM ports clocked at up to 400 MHz while the SRAM option has four 36-bit SRAM interfaces clocked up to 200 MHz.

WILDSTAR™ 6 for OpenVPX computing is a revolutionary technology combining user-programmable, reconfigurable system gates with very high memory and I/O bandwidth capacities, which allow for high-density and high-performance system designs. The Virtex™-6 family of products is an evolution of WILDSTAR family of products with enhancements that allow for more simplistic, but accelerated design development. Virtex™-6 products allow for low power consumption, which enables higher clock frequency and better noise margins. This significant power savings greatly reduces cost.

Virtex™-6 FPGAs contain two platforms: LXT and SXT. Virtex™-6 LXT offers high-performance logic applications solutions. LXT has the highest logic-to-feature ratio and the highest I/O-to-feature ratio. Virtex™-6 SXT is a high-performance solution for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications. SXT has the highest DSP-to-feature ratio and the highest memory-to-feature ratio.

The above FPGA platforms can be used on the WILDSTAR 6 for OpenVPX mainboard for a variety of applications, dependent upon customer needs. Computational PEs (CPEs) and IOPEs are populated with either LXT or SXT Virtex™-6 FPGAs, which are specified for different types of applications. WILDSTAR 6  for OpenVPX 80×80 Crossbar boards allow for one CPE and two IOPEs. WILDSTAR 6 for OpenVPX 40×40 Crossbar boards allow for two IOPEs.

To ensure safe and reliable processing, WILDSTAR 6 for OpenVPX boards come equipped with a proactive thermal management system. Sensors across the board monitor power and temperature, with automatic shutdown capability to prevent excessive heat buildup. WILDSTAR 6 for OpenVPX boards are built with a rugged, durable design.
